Ummmm... not to insult... but replacing fuel lines is one of the most straight forward operations you can do on your van. Not pleasant, but certainly not difficult. If you have Bentley, you have all the diagrams you need. Either contact one of the list vendors who have put together kits, or go get took down at the VW parts counter. Either way, it's a matter of disconnecting the battery, dropping the fuel tank, replacing the lines (all of them!) putting the grommets back in, and buttoning it up again. There are variations (like boiling out the tank) but the base process needs no guru. Now, go back into your engine compartment and replace all the lines back there too. Check all lines between the fuel pump and back firewall, check the carbon filter doohah (highly technical term there) and you should be finished (at least for a couple more years). tim Joe Lucca wrote: > > oh great vanagon owner's i need someone to learn from in the buffalo area > > joe > 1986 vanagon gl |
